Balancing Rock

Have you heard of GeoCaching?
Well if you've read my earlier blog entry you would know all about this fun, inexpensive outdoor entertainment. We love to get out when we can and check out any new caches as they pop up. We have even been known to check the website for some extra curricular activities when planning a vacation. These scavenger type hunts are planted everywhere, you should check your neighborhood!



Lately we have been so busy with Jackson that we have neglected the caches we personally have created in our local little Smalliver. So upon reading that there were a few unsuccessful attempts to locate our bounty, we ventured into the great wilderness with our little one to check the status of our hidden treasure. Great day to cache as no muggles were sited as we entered the site.



We have named our GeoCache 'Balancing Rock', I think the photo speaks for it's self as to why. We love this place and couldn't wait to set up a cache here as soon as we discovered this 'game'. This is Jackson's first time to Balancing Rock, not counting in utero of course. We just had to get the customary pic of trying to push the rock over. It's a marvel of nature! You swear that if you push it just right it will go tumbling down the hill. But Scott says that his high school geology teacher figures it has been in place since the glacier melts in the ice age. And that's a loooong time considering we live in the only pocket desert in Canada.




Well the Johnny Cachers ( that's our geocaching handle) have secured the prize and all is well. The cache was there all along, we are just especially good at this game of hide and seek. We hope to have inspired you to take a look at our favourite family oriented outdoor adventure sport.
Happy Caching!
